Chapter 24 The King's New Clothes
"Cousin, it's better to hurry up. Dad's health can't wait."
Bai Lechuan saw the fragility in her eyes.
The delicate little princess lost the protection of the king and could only pick up sword and shield to fight the enemy alone.
Zheng Zhong put away the ginseng, and went straight to the laboratory without going upstairs to say hello to Lu Yong.
Let them study the ingredients and effects of it urgently.
The boss was supervising on the side, and the researchers worked much faster.
An hour later, Bai Lechuan got the test report.
Even though he couldn't understand the professional terms, the rows of 100 points made him feel that the ginseng he had obtained was not simple.
The researcher doing the test was shaking like he was having an epileptic seizure: "Oh my God! This is thousand-year-old ginseng!"
There is only one ginseng found in the world, and it is known as the Millennium Ginseng King.
According to the pictures that were circulated at the time, the tentacles were up to 1.6 meters long, and the tentacles alone were more than one-third of the main body.
Thousand-year-old ginseng can also improve the body's physical condition and even prolong life. Legend has it that thousand-year-old ginseng can even bring the dead back to life.
It was sold at auction to an unknown wealthy businessman for 3.2 million, and there has been no further news about it since then.
It must have been secretly collected by a wealthy businessman.
He was lucky enough to see the only two ginseng kings in the world. Grandma! I have brought honor to my family!
Suddenly I thought of the powder that was scraped off at that time, and I felt heartbroken.
If it's scratched, hundreds of thousands of dollars would be gone...
He slapped his hand, and a red mark immediately appeared.
Oops, why wasn't I more careful then?
“And its data is very good, every indicator is perfect, and the effect is better than ginseng of the same year!
This is most likely a new discovery in the plant kingdom. This piece of ginseng completely breaks through the world's understanding of ginseng!
"Mr. Bai, what does a complete ginseng look like? How could someone actually slice it? This is simply a waste of natural resources!"
The researcher seemed to see himself standing on the award podium and became more and more excited as he spoke.
From the diameter of a piece, one can imagine the huge size of the original body.
When he looked up, he saw Bai Lechuan with a serious look on his face, and a bucket of ice water was immediately poured on him.
"Don't forget that you signed a confidentiality agreement with our Bai family. If you violate it, you know the consequences!
I don't want you to say a word about ginseng!"
Bai Lechuan's cold face gave people a feeling of being overwhelmed by a mountain, making people dare not disobey his orders.
The researcher was worried when he thought about the high penalty for breach of contract and the hopeless life in prison.
He nodded and promised repeatedly that he would not say a word.
After watching Bai Lechuan leave, his legs went limp and he sat paralyzed on a chair.
It was the first time he saw the sunny and kind Bai Shao with this face.
Is this the difference between business heirs and ordinary people?
Oh~you'd better watch your mouth, the Bai Group is not someone you can easily mess with.
In Kinabalu.
As the first person to get up in the family, Wu Xiuli prepares breakfast and inspects the crops in the yard as usual.
Suddenly, he stopped.
I blinked, and there was still nothing on the land.
He shouted, "Who dares to steal from my house?"
A flock of sparrows were startled and flew away: "Chirp chirp!"
"Lao Cheng, come out quickly!"
Lin Zhuangcheng heard the sound and rushed out to see what was happening.
"Laocheng, all the foxtail grass that Huanhuan and I planted yesterday is gone!"
Lin Zhuangcheng was in disbelief when he saw the empty land.
It's as if foxtail grass never existed.
But in their memories, they saw Lin Xinhuan planting the seeds with their own eyes.
Lin Zhuangcheng walked around the empty space, digging in the soil with his hands. "There are no dead branches. If they were pulled out, there would be roots and fallen leaves left. It definitely wouldn't be so clean."
"Besides...why would a thief steal dogtail grass?" There are plenty of them everywhere, but he steals them at home. Does he think he has lived too long?
"Nothing else was missing from the house. I locked the door last night so not even animals could get in."
Wu Xiuli checked the house after the grass disappeared.
The positions of everything remained the same, so this "thief" must not be a human.
But the animal must be at least the size of a dog or a cat to be able to pull up the foxtail grass.
So I checked the fence, and it was still locked, just like last night.
"It's not an animal. Look, the soil is very smooth and there are no footprints."
It was like a legless creature being pulled up from the air.
The two looked at each other and felt a chill down their spine: Could it be... a ghost?
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Lin Xinhuan was awakened by the noise. She was supposed to sleep until nine o'clock, but was woken up at six o'clock.
He rubbed his eyes, which were unable to open, opened the window, and asked below.
"Huanhuan, your foxtail grass is gone!"
Lin Xinhuan, who had figured it out, was awakened by the laughter. It turned out to be this.
It’s also my own fault. I forgot to tell my family yesterday.
He said to them, "Wait."
Coming down the stairs in slippers.
"They are still there. They have not been removed."
Lin Zhuangcheng and Wu Xiuli: "Is it only smart people who can see it?"
Lin Xinhuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
Hahahaha, it does have a bit of the flavor of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.
“I plant evening primrose, which looks similar to foxtail grass, but has a different effect.
It retracts into the ground during the day and emerges at night, just like the night-blooming cereus."
Lin Xinhuan turned over the soil and saw an earth-colored seed in her hand.
Because the color of evening primrose is the same as the soil, it is difficult to find the seeds.
You have to wait until it grows mature before you can discover it at night.
After a month of maturity, it will return to the seed form and wait to continue growing next year.
A seed will reincarnate for a hundred years, and only produce one seed a year at the ripening stage.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of plant. It's amazing."
The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.
There are so many plants, it's normal for them to not recognize some of them.
I didn't think much about where evening primrose came from.
"Its magical effect is not just the growth method, but also the effect of stimulating meridians and promoting bone growth."
"!"
Her eyes turned red in an instant, and Wu Xiuli excitedly held Lin Xinhuan's hand.
Lips tremble~
"I can cure your brother's leg. I'm 90% sure."
Lin Xinhuan clenched her hands, looked into Wu Xiuli's eyes, and said seriously.
After hearing what I was thinking from my child's mouth, I was still very shocked.
"But, the doctor in the city said there is no hope, wuwu~"
Wu Xiuli recalled the despair she felt at that time. The child was still young, and his legs were broken...
"The doctor said that I need to do surgery to cut off a section of the bone and straighten it. And after the surgery, I will be 50% sure that I can walk normally, right?"
Wu Xiuli was shocked. It was exactly the same as the doctor's conclusion, except that the doctor said the chance of cure was only 20%.
